Family Discovers Wrong Woman In Casket At Funeral For Grandmother

The family of Washington, D.C. grandmother Virginia Gray were angered to discover another woman's body in the casket.

A family in Washington, D.C. was left scratching their heads after their family matriarch’s body went missing at her funeral and was replaced with another woman. At the viewing last Friday for 83-year-old grandmother Vivian Gray, the funeral home made a major gaffe, NBC4 Washington reports.

Gray, who on Feb. 19 lost consciousness at her NE home, was rushed to a local hospital where she later passed. Adding to the insult of Gray’s missing body, the clothes the grandchildren bought for their grandmother to wear were placed on the body of the unnamed deceased woman in the casket.

More from NBC4 Washington:

The grandchildren say when they walked into Gray’s viewing at Horton’s Funeral Home in Northwest last Friday, the woman in the casket was not Gray, but was wearing the clothes they previously brought to the funeral home for their grandmother.

“Lunacy is what it is. It’s unspeakable. I can’t — yeah, this is straight out of a bad script, a holiday script or something. I’ve never heard of anything like this,” said Gray’s grandson, Quentin Gray.

The news outlet attempted to get statements from the Prince George’s Hospital Center and Horton’s Funeral Home to no avail.
